@rubberberner Dog parks usually aren’t very safe places to start with. Most aren’t regulated and people bring poorly socialized and sometimes even dogs with resource guarding. Although I stopped bringing my dogs to the dog park, it if good to know when you should be worried about something and stopping it before it escalates or if the it okay and playful.

I absolutely love you guys for posting this video and teaching people(including me of course – didn’t mean to sound too confident about my knowledge;) ) how to understand their dogs before they try to control them.Also,the vid’s awesomely entertaining and really informative.Keep up the great work!By the way,as for your humping the board-I’m not the slightest bit troubled by the fact itself,but I can’t help but ask-why on earth would you try to invite it to play,especially while dominating it? xD

I was confused by your definition -it was vary vague as silly as that sounds-. “in control” generally refers to “control of resources” right? That makes more sense.
So basically dogs are dominant/submissive to each other to establish good doggie relationships because without them relationships would not work? Okay, so that sounds good but completely different from Dominance Theory (which is a bad theory, this must be where all the confusion comes into play). I feel better educated now. :-D

@ThePsittacine You are getting the idea, but just think you will get the idea even more by watching the “dog culture” video. Especially when it comes to resources. “In Control” also refers to group decisions. Such as when to start and end play. Appreciate the feedback!

Dominance = to be in control.
This is a little vague, but is better than making it equal to aggression.
Tony Soprano is dominant, but doesn’t need to be aggressive to achieve that. He projects assertive behavior that controls less dominant ‘soldiers’. This is dominance.
